The Reset

Image
'A ll Scripture is breathed out by God and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, and for training in righteousness,   that the man of God may be complete, equipped for every good work.' 2 Timothy 3:16-17 (ESV) To be reset. The man and woman of God. No one would do it better than the Holy Spirit. To learn the ways of God one must first know the Holy Scriptures. Children are the best age to learn. The Scriptures are full of truth and the best guide we can follow for eternal life lessons.  Dear Father Thank you for the Word. We seek you. We seek the things that are lost and look to things that will teach us in the ways of eternal life. We need Jesus. We are open to correction and training in righteousness. We look to bring up our children in the discipline and instruction of the Lord. Please equip us for every good work.   The change could be for me. The change could be today. Your ways are true. You make me brand new. Forgive me of my sins. Heal me.

Building the Case for Christ - Prophecy #2

Image
'Behold, the days come, saith the Lord, that I will raise unto David a righteous Branch, and a King shall reign and prosper, and shall execute judgment and justice in the earth.'Jeremiah 23:5 (KJV) This prophecy was fulfilled 645 years later when Matthew documented the genealogy of Jesus the Messiah. Documented this day for our remembrance. Lest we forget who we are and from where it is that we came. We are God's sons and daughters. He calls us to live righteous lives and to pray. We pray. Dear Father. We pray for our President this day, that he shall rule and reign and prosper under the rules and principles of this great nation. We pray for the election, only eighteen days from today. May You, Lord continue in the same pattern that You have established, to execute judgment and justice in the earth through those that You place in positions of power. Just as Your name is 'The Lord is our righteousness' we pray that only honest men and women with valu

Where Am I?

Image
' Work hard so you can present yourself to God and receive his approval. Be a good worker, one who does not need to be ashamed and who correctly explains the word of truth.' 2 Timothy 2:15 (NLT) I find myself in this place again. Exactly where God needs me. Absolutely where I want to be. Where am I?  That's a good question. One that one should ask oneself as a sort of mental checkup. I've noticed that my physical address may change, but that hasn't changed what is important. I am in transition.  I've noticed that this year has brought a lot of changes to where I am allowed to go. Doors opening and doors closed. I've learned one lesson, stay grounded. I am straight. I am balanced. I am a teacher. I am a student. I am constantly seeking His approval by staying in His Word and staying true to His principles. Where I am determines who I spend my time with. I have everyone that I love and that is important to me so very close by. I am blessed. I am

The Harvest

Image
' Then your covenant with death will be annulled,      and your agreement with Sheol will not stand; when the overwhelming scourge passes through      you will be beaten down by it.' Isaiah 28:18 (NRSV) Do not be deceived. Covenants that bring death, God says that He will declare invalid. Agreements made with Hell, God says He will see it tumble. He will bring Judgment to the nations and through the actions of the lawbreakers He will see them fall and with them will be much trouble and suffering. There is hope. Only Christ can save the lost. But we must seek Him and obey. He is the only way to heaven. Yet we must want to go there and submit our selfish will to His Holy Will. On earth there is none righteous no not one. The flesh is weak. Only the Holy Ghost can bring the wisdom, strength and holiness that we seek. No one has the power to face every danger or live under his own protection without the righteous Hand of God. Only God's favor can bring happiness. G

In the Name of Jesus

Image
 'Y ou can ask for anything in my name, and I will do it, so that the Son can bring glory to the Father.   Yes, ask me for anything in my name, and I will do it!' John 14:13-14 (NLT) Dear Father, Thank you for your Word. Thank you for the Holy Spirit that is in us as believers. We know Him and that is to say that he pursued us before we even knew you Jesus. We knew you first and then He came to live inside of us. Oh Glorious day! Being Spirit filled is having the wisdom and the power of God in us. Giving ourselves over to Him in unity of purpose. Working together for the Father's will as one with the Father would. Praying as we ought. Doing as we ought. Denying self. Death to self and all those selfish pursuits and desires. Living life more completely and walking in the Spirit with His promises and purposes on full display. Glory! Glory to the Father. Great things He has done! How can this be? How else can it be any better, any other way? For all power in heave

First Veil

Image
' “And you shall make a veil of blue and purple and scarlet yarns and fine twined linen. It shall be made with cherubim skillfully worked into it. And you shall hang it on four pillars of acacia overlaid with gold, with hooks of gold, on four bases of silver. And you shall hang the veil from the clasps, and bring the ark of the testimony in there within the veil. And the veil shall separate for you the Holy Place from the Most Holy.' Exodus 26:31-33 (ESV Yom Kippur is the holiest day of the year for those of the Jewish faith. It means 'Day of Atonement'. This year, 2019, it was celebrated on October 8-9. What might the significance be when my Bible study group, following a study plan, discussed 'the Holiest' day on the day that it was celebrated? Perhaps, the purpose of it was to encourage me and to place in me a desire to dig a little deeper into the types of veils, all four of them, and their symbolism in the tabernacle. What was the signifi

Too Late to Get to Heaven

Image
' And this is the truth: God has given us the gift of eternal life, and this life is in His Son.  If you have the Son, you have eternal life. If you do not have the Son of God, you are not acquainted with true life.' 1 John 5:22-23 (VOICE)  Don't miss this. It is truth. To the one that refuses to trust and to obey Christ as the Son of God and to believe that he died for the sins of all, this one is therefore because of his own decision, condemned and is dead in sin. God is Holy. Because God Loves us He sent His only Son Jesus to die for us. As long as we still have breath in our lungs it's not too late! Christ is the only way to heaven. There are no other forms of morality, no greater teaching of ideas, no encouraging words of faith that will cover this sin of omission. Christ is the High Priest. He lives to intercede for us. He died on the Cross for us and his blood was shed as a sacrifice for you and me, an atonement for our sins. He defeated death. He
